DO YOU KNOW THE

POWER OF ADORATION,

SPENDING AN HOUR

WITH THE LORD?

(PART 2)

You can bring your family closer together. Our saints have always emphasized that a Holy Hour is not a personal solitary “Jesus and me” encounter, but rather one that involves the entire Church, the people of God. Our Adoration reaches out to our families and our community, they say, and as a result, our families are very blessed and brought closer together. This is another aspect of Adoration that many people don't realize. People heavily involved in the different Perpetual Adoration Programs throughout the world often report of a loved one, who had left the Church, coming back because of those involved in Perpetual Adoration. Jesus will use many means to try to bring each of us to Heaven. He may be waiting for you to sign up for a Holy Hour of Adoration to bring one of your loved ones back to the Church.

You make up for great evils of the world. We read often in the newspapers of many evils that are perpetrated on innocent people throughout the world. Our saints teach us that not only does our Adoration grace everyone in the world, but actually repairs for many evils that might otherwise go unrepaired and unchecked. Your Holy Hour is very important to Jesus. He depends on you to help counter evil throughout the world. It is said that everyone in life is given a mission by Jesus to fulfill. If we don’t entirely accomplish this mission, it goes unfulfilled into eternity. There are numerous evils in the world to be repaired and made up for. You may be the only one to make up for some of them. Jesus may be counting on your Holy Hour to repair these evils.

You open the floodgates of God’s Mercy. One of the most important graces that God showers upon the earth, through your Holy Hour, is that of His Great Mercy, according to Saint Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II. In other words, your Holy Hour opens up the floodgates of His Mercy onto everyone in the world. For many people in the world, this may be the first time, or maybe the only time, they are ready to accept this grace. It also has been said, by our saints, that God’s Mercy is infinite, but that His justice is total. God may be counting on you to extend His time

of mercy for yet another day to many people in the world before He will try to use His justice to save them.

You help convert America and save the world. Asked “What will convert America and save the world?”, Saint Mother Teresa answered without hesitation that we need everyone to come together in Holy Hours of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Our spare time is always valuable to us, but it is much more valuable to our beloved Lord. He wants America to be converted, but it is up to us to come before Him to help bring this about.

You help stop abortions throughout the United States. Eucharistic Adoration is a very strong antidote specifically to the evil of abortion. If all Catholics in the United States would make adoration of the most Blessed Sacrament a weekly occurrence, all abortions in the United States would stop, according to Saint Mother Teresa. We know that all Catholics will not do this, but we can at least do our part, in stopping as many abortions as possible, by sacrificing an hour of our time each week in coming before our beloved Lord in adoration.

“I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be

an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.” ~ Acts 13:47b

Beginning on Mother’s Day, May 12th, and for the following eight days,

(through Monday, May 20th) prayers for mothers will be offered at Masses celebrated here at

St. Peter Claver.

On April 21, 2019 as Christians in Sri Lanka gathered to celebrate Easter Mass, three churches

packed with worshippers and several hotels with many tourists were targeted with several powerful bombings.

Over 310 were killed and at least 500 were injured in this tragic attack. Our Holy Father Pope Francis,

after celebrating Mass in St. Peter’s Square, said the attacks had “brought mourning and sorrow”

on the most important of Christian holidays.

Archbishop Gomez has asked us to pray for the conversion of every heart that is hardened by hatred;

and in solidarity with our suffering brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka, he has asked all parishes to consider

conducting a special collection during the weekend of May 18/19, 2019.

Should you wish to donate, checks should be made payable to The Society for the Propagation of the Faith

– Memo: SRI LANKA DISASTER. Donations may be mailed to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith,

3424 Wilshire Blvd., 3rd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90010. If anyone wishes to make an online donation, they

may do so at www.missionsla.org/donate-today and specify Sri Lanka Disaster in the special instructions box.

You may also use the Emergency Relief envelopes at the doors of the church to donate. Make your check out

to St. Peter Claver Church and note Sri Lanka” on the memo line.

All-loving God, we give you thanks and praise for mothers young and old.

We pray for young mothers, who give life and count toes and tend to our every need; May they be blessed

with patience and tenderness to care for their families and themselves with great joy.

We pray for our own mothers who have nurtured and cared for us; May they continue to guide us

in strong and gentle ways.

We remember mothers who are separated from their children because of war, poverty, or conflict;

May they feel the loving embrace of our God who wipes every tear away.

.

We pray for women who are not mothers but still love and shape us with motherly care and compassion.

We remember mothers. grandmothers, and great-grandmothers who are no longer with us but who live forever

in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations is observed on this Sunday, May 12, 2019, also known as "Good Shepherd Sunday." The purpose of this day is to publically fulfill the Lord's instruction to,

"Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). Please pray that young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord's call to the priesthood,

diaconate, religious life, societies of apostolic life or secular institutes.

St. Peter Claver Preschool & Kindergarten is pleased to invite you to our Open House

Continue your Lenten practice, or start a new habit, of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. You can accomplish all three by spending an hour in adoration each week in our chapel.

By spending an hour before the Blessed Sacrament, you can pray. You will fast from your other activities by committing to spend an hour with the Lord. You will be charitable by praying for friends, our community, the church, our world.

We’re praying you’ll join us.

You can sign up using the parish website: saintpeterclaver.org/perpetual-adoration

Click the link “Schedule Adoration Time Here”. Then click on “Weekly Commitment”.

You will see hours that are well covered, and hours that only have one adorer. We earnestly hope that you can choose an hour presently covered by only one adorer, or the overnight hours which are harder to fill.

Or use the yellow cards found at the church doors.

May God shower you abundantly with the generosity you show to Him. For any questions or to sign up by phone, contact Head Coordinator

What risks are worth it for children? - In today’s society, parents are often torn between

protecting their children, and letting them experience life and even make mistakes. Safety

is vitally important, but there is value in learning from experience and from mistakes,

too. There may be times when parents wonder if they have gone too far in their efforts to safeguard children, perhaps inadvertently

rendering them children less prepared to handle real-life situations, For help in discerning when learning from experience may be appropriate

see the VIRTUS® article “Safety vs. Resilience in Childhood.” For more information, visit http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/

VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.

¿Qué riesgos valen la pena para los niños? - En la sociedad actual, los padres de familia a menudo tienen que

decidir entre proteger a sus hijos y dejar que ellos experimenten la vida e incluso cometan errores. La

seguridad es de vital importancia, pero también es valioso aprender de la experiencia y de los errores. Pueden existir ocasiones en que los padres de familia se pregunten si han

ido demasiado lejos en sus esfuerzos de proteger a los niños, seguramente sin desear que sus hijos estén menos preparados para manejar situaciones de la vida real. Para obtener ayuda para discernir cuándo puede ser apropiado aprender de la experiencia, consulte el artículo VIRTUS®

“Safety vs. Resilience in Childhood” (Seguridad versus resiliencia en la infancia). Para obtener más información,
